Serbian Air Force Mig-21MF
 
This is a kind of "what if". Asfar as I know the FRY Air Force didn't have MFs, they were probably retired and so could not be used by the Serbian Air Force. This skin follows the idea that they continued their service in the FRY Air Force, later the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force and finally the Serbian Air Force. I made the skin to resmble the SAF's current camouflage used on it's Mig-21s.
 
Simply put in your Mig-21MF folder and select SrbAF from the list of skins.

F-86F-30 Sabre, No.2 Squadron, South African Air Force, Korea, 1953.
 
No.2 Squadron "The Flying Cheetahs" served throughtout the Korean War, attached to the USAF 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing. Intially flying F-51D Mustangs, they were converted onto Sabres in January 1953.
 
This is a rebadged stand-alone of the F-86F-30 Sabre contained in the package put together by USAFMTL, David Zurawski, Jimmy Bib, Fubar 512 and Tazkiller; please read the enclosed "Original Read Me" for details of credits. My only contribution involves decalling, some nationality tweaking and hangar/loading screens.

this skin represents a EAF F-16A Blk15 just copy the skin in to your F-16A_Blk10-NDC

Readme for Ruler tool for the TW series.
 
********************************* Version 1.0 Original Release ********************************
Version 1.0
 
Notes:
 
This tool is for use in trying to find the coordinates for the a object model where you don't have access to the original MAX file.
 
The large one is 20 meters in length and 1 meter in 'tallness'...each large number a meter, each small number a decimeter, and each 'tick' mark the thickness of a centimeter. It may be slightly off by about 5 millimeters due to the thickness of the 'O' tickmark.
 
The small one is 2 meters in length...basically scale the large one down by a decimal point.
 
The idea is to use the big one to get you close, then use the small one to get the exact position you need...taking screenshots to help remember what the measurement was.

Readme for ASAT for WOI (Version 1.0)
 
********************************* Version 1.0 Original Release ********************************
Version 1.0
 
Thanks to the following folks:
 
TK - For the ThirdWire series of sims.
Bunyap and Wpnssgt - For the original Weapons Pack.
Mustang - For the great video tutorials.
To my fellow Combatace moderators - For helping me beta test and work out bugs.
Any errors or mistakes are entirely mine.
 
 
What you will need first:
 
Thirdwire Weapons Editor - http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm
 
Wings Over Israel (as of 29 Mar 08) - This mod will ONLY work with WoI at this time.
 
Mirage Factory's F-15C MSIP - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5865
 
Bunyap's Range - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2658
 
Wrench's Range Upgrade - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6164
 
 
Optional to increase fidelity:
 
USAFMTLs F-15C Skin for the 57th FIS - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1572
 
Lexx_Luthor's 3-D rocket exhaust - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5998
 
 
Notes and limitations:
 
The 'Tselina ELINT Satellite' is a real satellite that existed in the 1980s. It was used as a target because I was able to find decent photos of it to build off of.
 
The ASAT missile was test fired once (and had a successful intercept), but was never approved for production.
 
I have not found any way to incorperate the satellite into a campaign and have it be designated as a target in a mission.
 
However, if anyone that's good at building single missions wants to incorperate it into a single mission, feel free to do so.

Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam/Wings Over Europe etc Mi-24 skins readme
 
All credit for these skins goes to their creators as detailed below. All I've done is to re-format them for SF\WOV\WOE and add a textureSet to each skin.
 
Not all of the countries for which we have skins are included in the standard NATIONS.ini list, so I've left those as Soviet. It doesn't make any difference to the skins' appearance as there are no decals to worry about. If you have the New Nations mod that includes these missing countries then feel free to modify the relevant TextureSet.
 
 
All you need to do is to extract the skin to your Objects\Aircraft\Mi-24 folder, then go fly and blow up some stuff.
 
 
Thanks must go to the A Team for making the Mi-24 for SF\WOV\WOE, Tim Conrad for the original Mi-24V, and of course TK for giving us these great sims to play with.
 
This skin is based on Mike Pearson's textures and converted with his kind permission.
 
Enjoy, and good hunting
 
Allen
 
ps You can use these skins in any mods, campaigns etc, but please name check me and the original skinners in your credits as a courtesy. Thanks

This is just zyzy6464's skin for the WOE F-15A re-formated to work with the stock WOI F-15A_Baz.
 
The skin is for 133 Squadron, Twin Tails, and all credit for the skin should go to zyzy6464.
 
Unfortunately I couldn't contact him to obtain permission to post this mod, but I haven't altered his skin in any way. All I did was to rename the .bmp files and edit the decal.ini
 
To install just extract the idfaf folder to your objects/aircraft/F-15A_Baz forlder and then boot up WOI and go fly.
 
Thanks to TK for this great sim, and of course to zyzy6464 for the original skin.
 
Safe flying, and good hunting.

VMA(AW)-242 repaint for the Razbam A-6A (white radomes)
 
This is part two of my VMA(AW)-242 decals, and the base model is again the recently released A-6 Intruder by Razbam. Just drop the folder into the A-6A folder and go fly. Most aircraft had black radomes early in the unit's history at Da Nang, but many later aircraft were seen with off-white radomes. It will not work with the original WOV A-6A or the add-on created by Monty CZ.
 
A working decal system is provided for anyone creating new markings for the plane.
 
Enjoy,

F6F-5 Hellcat mod for SF/WoV/WoE - WW2 PTO Installs
 
This is a modifcation of Razor/Geo's F6F-3 'Hellcat' into the -5 used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during 1943-45. I call this a 'representative' -5, as it is based on the -3, and still has the rear cockpit windows, which would not be present on the later -5 'represented' here.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, including all the necessary parts, =excepting= the aircraft LOD, to recreate the standard -5 day fighter-bomber . You =WILL= have to copy the "F6F.LOD" from your original Hellcat's folder to this one. It's highly reccomened you have the original, plus any weapons it adds, in you PTO install.
 
The cockpit is also NOT included, but a new gunsight and cockpit ini is, so you'll need to copy over the -3's cockpit as well. See 'Installation" below...
 
The skin is brand new, from a template created by me, based off the original tri-color that came with the -3 Hellcat. It represents's Hellcats from VF-3 aboard USS YORKTOWN circa early 1945. Weapons stations have been added for the wing-mounted HVARs, as well as the usual bombs and drop tank original built into the -3. My Hellcat Hangar and Loading screens have been included.
 
It is also NOT designed to be used in a WW2 style install of WoI, as WoI handles propeller aircraft -completely- differently, and they do NOT fly properly. You've been warned....
 
I've included Geo' original readme, please give it a look over. Remember: you MUST have the original F6F-3 Hellcat available at his site:
 
Geo's Aircraft:

== YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!! ==
 
You know what ya gotta do...read the enclosed readme for all kinds of informative goodnes! The best part, is it's non-fattening, non-alcholic, lowers cholesteral, is high in fiber and generally fun!!
 
Enjoy!

F6F-5N Hellcat Nightfighter mod for SF/WoV/WoE - WW2 PTO Installs
 
This is a modifcation of Razor/Geo's F6F-3 'Hellcat' into the -5N nighter version used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during 1943-45. I call this a 'representative' -5N, as it is based on the -3, and still has the rear cockpit windows, which would not be present on the later -5N 'represented' here.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, including all the necessary parts, =excepting= the aircraft LOD, to recreate the -5N Nightfighters. You =WILL= have to copy the "F6F.LOD" from your original Hellcat's folder to this one. It's highly reccomened you have the original, plus any weapons it adds, in you PTO install.
 
Included is the full cockpit, modified by Lexx_Luthor, from the F-86D for use in this aircraft, a skin representing VMFN-542 - complete with accurate Modex numbers and nose art (BuNums not included), all inis, damage tgas, and a NEW -only available in this mod- Hellcat Nightfighter Hangar & Loading Screens. The skin is brand new, from a template created by me, based off the original tri-color that came with the -3 Hellcat. Weapons stations have been added for the wing-mounted HVARs, as well as the usual bombs and drop tank.
 
You're also be using the weapons editor to add the new wing-mounted radar pod, modified from something I don't remember at this point in time. This is designed ONLY for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak, and NOT the TMF pak, as their's does not contain the WW2 weapons. It is also NOT designed to be used in a WW2 style install of WoI, as WoI handles propeller aircraft -completly- differently, and they don't fly properly. You've been warned....
 
I've included Geo' original readme, please give it a look over.
 
== YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!! ==
 
Please read the enclosed readme for more, detailed install instructions. Etc and so forth... you know the drill!!

Fix For Razbam's Texture in the VMA-121 Folder
 
Fix for the missing texture in the VMA-121 texture folder, fixing the VA-165 duplicate fuselage and wing textures with the right ones.
Original textures by Russel R. Smith, for MSFS, converted for Strike Fighter series.

The default overcast and inclement cloud top bitmaps in any of the Thirdwire series (SF, WoV,WoE, FE, and now WoI), always seem to lack "depth". So, this is my attempt at rectifying that issue.
 
Installation is quite easy. Simply extract the four bmp files contained in this zip archieve (CloudLayerTop2-CloudLayerTop5.bmp), into your sim's "Flight" folder. And that's it!
 
To test, simply fly above the cloud deck under either overcast or inclement weather conditions.
To remove, just delete them and the game will revert to using it's original (and protected) cloudlayertop bitmaps.
 
Cheers,
 
Fubar512 and Brain32

VMA(AW)-242 repaint for the Razbam A-6A (black radomes)
 
This is the first of the four Marine Corps A-6A units which flew in Vietnam, and the base model is the recently released A-6 Intruder by Razbam. Just drop the folder into the A-6A folder and go fly. Most aircraft had black radomes early in the unit's history at Da Nang. It will not work with the original WOV A-6A or the add-on created by Monty CZ.

Skin templates are layered textures useful for painting your own custom skin of our aircraft. These are all saved in Adobe Photoshop PSD format, so you'll need a paint program that can read PSD format to use these.
